1. Woman get your hair out of curlers, time to get your butt out of bed,

G7 C

get down your hats and your baggage, my child,

Am D

going back home, getting back to the homestead.

G Bm G7

I’m gonna heat me some water, and put a shine upon my shoes,

G7 C

telephone my Ma, keep the room above Joe’s,

Am D

‘cause we’re coming back, coming back to the homestead,

Am D

everything is packed, getting back to the homestead,

Am - C D

this time, this time we’ll stay, baby !

G C G

I know that we could have made it, we had ideas in our heads,

G C

and I wish somehow we could have saved it,

G

but we’re Gasoline Alley bred.

- G C G

Yet the years haven’t really been wasted, and I know it in my head,

G C

we did good for the life that we’ve tasted,

- C - Cm G

‘cause we’re Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley bred.

2. Woman you can really believe it, I did everything a man could do,

G7 C

breaking my back just to make us a dime,

Am D

that won’t mean a damn, when no one wants to know you..

G Bm G7

Woman I know how you’re feeling, I’ve seen the hurt upon your face,

G7 C

how many times do you think that I’ve cried?

Am D

knowing every day that your heart was getting broken,

Am D

holding back your pride till you were nearly chokin’,

Am C D

oh, oh, let’s get away, baby.

G C G

I know that we could have made it, we had ideas in our heads,

G C

and I wish somehow we could have saved it,

G

but we’re Gasoline Alley bred.

Yet the years haven’t really been wasted, and I know it in my head,
